Creating a good working relationship between the holder of the mine
Mining can be managed so that negative social impacts that could occur after the closure of the mine are minimized. Manifesto the best and most feasible way to improve a positive legacy is anticipating the end of a particular mining activity. During the inauguration of the Third International Conference “Mine Closure”, organized by the MEM, said that if the closure plan is designed from the early stages of mining, the potential effects that may occur throughout the project period mining will be handled appropriately.
“This in practice means that the holder of mining as a way to take a close working relationship between the design of the mine and changes in the plan of operations during the life of the mine, considering the environmental and social conditions in the project design during operation and closure, “he added.
In this regard, said it is necessary to have permanent mechanisms and commitments between the owner mining and governments, communities and potentially affected stakeholders to set realistic goals and develop and implement appropriate management plans.
In this context, the Government has attached great importance to the closure of mining activities available through the law governing mine closure and its regulations, which have a plan of closing, which is an environmental management tool comprising all technical and legal actions required to ensure the achievement of the objectives of that mine closure, he said.
He emphasized that the approach to mine closure means a continuous activity which is initiated feasibility studies as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the detailed engineering stage and continues throughout the life cycle of the mine even extends well after the post-closure.
“The MEM provides a philosophy for the design of mine closure that mining produces permanent changes in surface conditions and below the ground surface, water resources and often create permanent changes in the rural community,” said. He said the MEM for the environmental impacts of mining are managed so that the water resources field and return to a condition that can be used after completion of mining.
